Title: Hair care appliance
Inventor: KERN HEINZ
IPC: A45D1/02
Filed: 2001-03-09
Abstract: The invention relates to a curling iron that consists of a tubular heating rod and a heating element extending in the longitudinal direction of the heating rod. The curling iron further comprises a fuel container for receiving and dispensing a liquid fuel, and a valve device for gasifying and regulating the fuel. The heating element is controlled depending on the temperature by a thermostat disposed in the vicinity of the heating element. According to the inventive curling iron, the thermostat is thermally shielded from the heating element by a separation wall, thereby allowing to better control the temperature behavior of the heating rod and to prevent excessive temperature peaks.

Title: Method and system for identifying data locations associated with real world observations
Inventor: VAN RUYMBEKE GILLES
IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 2000-04-27
Abstract: A method and system for identifying data locations or uniform resource locators associated with physical observations in the real world. The method  and system includes selecting certain physical parameters based upon an observation of real world objects and events and associating such physical parameters with data locations on the Internet or other computer network. Wh en the real world object is observed or a real world event occurs, physical parameters relating to the object or event are sensed and recorded. These stored physical parameters are then communicated to a database, which return s a data location corresponding to the observed physical parameters. Thus, the  present invention allows a user to "click" on objects or events in the real world in order to find data locations related to the objects or events in th e on-line world.

Filed: 2002-03-22
Abstract: Methods and apparatus are provided to obtain efficient Electron capture dissociation (ECD) of positive ions, particularly useful in the mass spectrometric analysis of complex samples such as of complex mixtures and large biomolecules of peptides and proteins. Due to the low efficiency of ECD  as previously used, the technique has so far only been employed with Penning cell ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometers, where the ions are confined by a combination of magnetic and electrostatic fields. To substantially increase the efficiency of electron capture, the invention makes use of a high-intensity electron source producing a high-flux low-energy electron beam of a diameter comparable to that of the confinement volume of ions. Such a beam possesses trapping properties for positive ions. The ions confined by electron beam effectively capture electrons, which leads much shorter analysis time.  The invention provides the possibility to employs ECD in other trapping and non-trapping instruments beside ICR mass spectrometers.

Abstract: A natural gas is deacidized by contacting the natural gas with solvent containing methanol, water and amine, for two times, and distilling the first fraction of partly regenerated solvent. A second fraction of partly regenerated solvent is mixed with fourth solvent drawn-off at point of distillation column. The draw-off point is determined for the proportion by mole of methanol of first solvent to be higher than that of the second solvent.  Deacidizing of a natural gas comprises contacting the natural gas with a first solvent containing methanol, water, and amine and with a third solvent containing acid gases so as to obtain a methanol-containing gas and acid gas-containing solvent. The obtained gas is contacted with a second solvent containing methanol, water and amine so as to obtain a gas partly freed of acid gases and the third solvent containing the acid gas. The acid gas-containing solvent is expanded to release acid gases and to obtain a partly regenerated solvent. A first fraction of the partly regenerated solvent is distilled to obtain a gas phase containing acid gases and the second solvent. A second fraction of partly regenerated solvent is mixed with a fourth solvent drawn off at a point of distillation column to obtain the first solvent. The draw-off point is determined for the proportion by mole of methanol of first solvent to be higher than that of the second solvent.
